Chapter 204: The Paradox of the Late Stage of Foundation Building (Thanks to the book friend O Qi'an O for the reward)
After a night, Lu Yang walked out of the cave and yawned. He looked radiant, as if he was resurrected and full of energy.
"Um--"
"I'm alive!" Lu Yang stretched his body and felt full of strength.
A good night's rest really does help.
Lu Yang recalled the destruction of the Immortal Sect, as if it happened yesterday and his memory was still fresh.
Lu Yang noticed that the Immortal Fairy was sleeping soundly in the spiritual space. When she was sleeping, she was quiet and elegant, with a peerless appearance and curvy body, which perfectly matched the world's impression of the word "fairy".
When the Immortal Fairy doesn't speak, she is very good at intimidating people who don't know her.
A rare quietness.
"But does the soul body also need to sleep?"
Lu Yang thought of the Huangliang pillow used by the Immortal Fairy, and could only attribute the reason why she slept to her "hobbies".
Feeling the hazy sunlight of early morning, the spiritual power in his body involuntarily accelerated, as if a new force was surging in his body.
"It's almost the late stage of foundation building."
Lu Yang muttered to himself, sitting cross-legged on the spot, with his five hearts facing the sky, silently practicing the "Art of Enlightenment".
The spiritual energy in the body circulates according to the route of the exercises, flowing faster and faster, constantly washing Lu Yang's body and strengthening every part of the body.
Lu Yang tried to take this opportunity to strengthen his hair, but found it was of no use.
"I don't know how Meng Jingzhou trained his hair."
Lu Yang remembered that when Meng Jingzhou was fighting against the people from the Five Elements Sect, he used his hair to hit his opponents, with great effect.
He put aside all distracting thoughts, calmed down, and let his body merge with nature. Spiritual energy from heaven and earth continued to flow into his body, and he exhaled spiritual energy to give back to heaven and earth.
In this process, his realm is constantly improving.
"Huh? What are you doing? Practicing?" The Immortal Fairy woke up, rubbing her eyes, looking dazed.
She felt that Lu Yang's realm was constantly improving, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"No, I'm advancing." Lu Yang explained seriously.
"I am now in the late stage of half-step foundation building."
"Oh, so you are almost in the late stage of foundation building?"
"Almost there, but I have a question in mind."
"What is it?"
"I am now half a step into the late stage of foundation building. If I take another half step, will I be closer to the late stage of foundation building?"
"yes."
"Then if I take another half step of half step of half step, will I be closer than before?"
"right."
"If I always take a half step forward based on my original foundation, will I be closer and closer to the late stage of foundation building?"
The Immortal Fairy nodded ignorantly.
"I have been breaking through realms, but I have never been able to reach the late stage of foundation building. Does this mean that the late stage of foundation building is just an illusory realm that no one has ever reached?"
The Immortal Fairy frowned and thought for a moment, then felt that she was probably not awake yet, so she decided to go back to sleep.
The Immortal Fairy tilted her head and went back to sleep.
After the Immortal Fairy fell asleep, Lu Yang was still thinking about this philosophical question.
What is the answer to the question? Is it meaningless for me to keep breaking through the realm? Is it possible that the late stage of foundation building does not exist at all? The puppet hiding in the dark could no longer bear to watch, secretly ran behind Lu Yang, and kicked Lu Yang.
Lu Yang relaxed and successfully took another half step.
Late stage of foundation building!
"Who kicked me!"
Lu Yang turned back suddenly, but the puppet had already escaped.
Even if the puppet ran away, Lu Yang could guess that it was the puppet's doing.
In the entire Tianmen Peak, apart from Lu Yang, the only one who could move was the puppet.
“Forget it, I won’t bother with it. Let’s go to the mission hall to redeem the prize!” Lu Yang felt that he couldn’t beat it even if he found the puppet. There was no need for him to get beaten as the first thing after breaking through.
Unlucky.
Lu Yang waited at the door of the mission hall for a while before Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu arrived.
The two of them were also very tired, having slept since last night until just waking up.
As usual, Meng Jingzhou went to the mission hall to buy high-quality fodder, mixed it according to the proportions, and returned to feed it to the old horse.
"Ice-making talismans are so cheap, give me twenty!"
Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou in surprise: "Why did you buy so many low-level ice-making talismans?"
These ice-making talismans can only be used against those in the middle and late stages of Qi training, and are just there to make up the numbers on the list.
"Hey, you don't understand, right? It's summer now, and you know what's most important in summer? It's to be cool!"
Man Gu was puzzled: "But isn't there a cooling formation in the cave? It should be enough."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Meng Jingzhou stretched out his index finger and shook it: "Come, let me show you."
Meng Jingzhou pulled out a wooden barrel from his jade identity card, filled it with cold water, and jumped in with a plop, revealing his head.
He took out the ice-making talisman, and the water in the entire wooden barrel instantly turned into ice, and he was frozen inside.
"Awesome!" Meng Jingzhou shouted. His whole body was frozen into an ice lump. Only his head could move. This feeling was so awesome.
This is only the case for monks. If it were an ordinary person, he would have gotten sick from the cold long ago.
Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he pulled Meng Jingzhou and the ice out of the barrel. He pushed the ice and it rolled around the mission hall.
This art form is rare even in the advanced Wendao Sect, and has attracted the attention of many senior brothers and sisters.
"Lu Yang, you bastard!" Meng Jingzhou cursed. He felt dizzy and couldn't tell east from west.
While rolling the ice, Lu Yang explained, "You don't understand this, right? The biggest problem for the three of us to combine is that our bodies can't handle too much spinning! We can use this method to train and get used to spinning in advance."
Man Gu nodded on the side, thinking that Brother Lu was worthy of being called Brother Meng. He had a quick mind. He thought that Brother Lu was simply making trouble for Brother Meng.
Meng Jingzhou had a different view on this: "Everyone can talk about theory, Lu Yang, if you have the guts, let's switch, I'll push you!"
"You are the first to be frozen, so I will train you first!" Lu Yang would not be fooled.
A childish way of provoking others.
In the end, it was the senior brother who was on duty in the mission hall who stopped Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with a sour face.
The two of them then calmed down and went to redeem the rewards on the list.
“Give me a Ten Bull Strength Pill.” Lu Yang saw the Jindan stage version of the Ten Bull Strength Pill on the list, which cost 1,500 contribution points. Without saying anything, he bought it.
This price is absolutely worth the money.
"Huh? Jindan Realm Experience Coupon, what is this?" Meng Jingzhou discovered something very strange, and the description on it was also very vague.
Meng Jingzhou pondered: "Could it be that they want to allow the Foundation Establishment cultivators to temporarily enter the Golden Core stage to experience what a Golden Core is?"
He heard that some great immortal cultivators were accustomed to letting their disciples experience the realm in advance, which would be beneficial for their subsequent practice.
"Buy one and try it. It's not a loss." Lu Yang encouraged Meng Jingzhou to buy one.
Meng Jingzhou thought about it and it made sense. It wasn’t expensive anyway, so he bought one.
He ran to the front desk and found the senior brother on duty.
"Brother, I want to use this experience voucher."
After the senior brother confirmed that this was true, he nodded and said, "You can use it now."
Meng Jingzhou asked curiously: "Brother, what is this experience voucher for?"
While contacting people, the senior brother casually said, "Let me show you the combat power of a Jindan-stage cultivator."
Meng Jingzhou suddenly felt something was wrong and was about to say something when someone patted him on the shoulder.
Meng Jingzhou turned around and saw a bald senior brother in the Jindan stage. He had a kind face and showed a row of neat teeth. He smiled.
"Junior brother, I heard that you want to experience the fighting power of a Jindan-stage cultivator? Let's go to the arena outside and fight."
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
Lu Yang, you cheated me!
